Dublin City Council is set to trial an open network to provide free Wi-Fi in the city centre.
The decision comes as part of the European Commission’s WiFi4EU initiative which promotes free access to Wi-Fi connectivity for citizens in public spaces.
As part of the WiFi4EU initiative, municipalities will receive a voucher that pays for the network including maintenance of the equipment to offer free and high-quality Wi-Fi connectivity for at least three years. DCC is installing Wi-Fi 6 Access Points that are compliant with TIP OpenWiFi with support from Virgin Media.
